In addition to his accomplishments on the field, Wilson has quickly become active in the local area by taking part in many community activities.

The Eagle Hall of Fame Benefit will be held at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency and tickets are available to the public. The event will begin with a silent auction at 5:00 p.m. and dinner and live auction begins at 7:00 p.m. Proceeds for the event will support scholarships for student athletes at Northwest University in the seven intercollegiate sports currently offered by the school.

“We are proud to have Russell Wilson share at this year’s event,” said Joseph Castleberry, Northwest University President. “He distinguishes himself as not only an athlete, but also as a champion of character and integrity. He is a great role model for our student athletes and all athletes participating in organized sports.”
